Cuda, I'm glad you are ok and would like to echo what a few of the other guys have said about going to the hospital for a check-up... A hard shock can actually alter your blood chemistry and get ya sick, a plumber buddy was servicing an air compressor on a sprinkler system back when I was in the military, he got hit pretty hard. 4 days after the shock he ended up in the hospital for a few days until they could get the electrolite levels in his blood back to safe levels...

Just stumbled across this post..WOW! have been bit but never thatd bad..I even tinker with my main service panel from time to time..Never think about GFI'S ..I will now..My 60 has the GFI and I believe my 1500 has one ...Wierd story , was running the 50 one day and sparks were arching from the cable to the cast iron floor drain..Couldn't figure it out, thought there was a buried wire in the ground that was shorted out ..Come to find out the switch was shorted out..Old k50 with no GFI..Will always check for a GFI now..Hope you are ok now

I have always made a point before useing my K1500 after I have plugged into power point to touch the top of it with the back of my hand so if there is an electrical fault my hand wont grab onto machine but push it away
